Abstract

PCT No. PCT/FR82/00153 Sec. 371 Date May 20, 1983 Sec. 102(e) Date May 20, 1983 PCT Filed Sep. 21, 1982 PCT Pub. No. WO83/01123 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 31, 1983.The cell comprises around the end of an optical fiber (1) three resilient elongate rods having bulging ends and held clamped against the fiber by a cartridge (5) which is itself held in a cell body (9). Two identical cells can thus be placed face to face with a 1/6th of a turn offset to provide a quality junction, using a suitable connector of any type.
